[WiX-users] Localization issue: One msi file for several languages

[d***@noser.com]

Hi

I am a Wix newbie and I have a question concerning localization. I need my installer to support english and german. When i now compile my wix project, two msi files are generated, one for each language.

In our case, what we would like to have is one single msi file where the different languages are compiled into.
Depending on the language of the target machine, the installer would then choose the current language. (Optionally, having the user choose the install language would also be possible).

Does wix support this scenario or is there a work around?
Thanks in advance.

Dan

Beware though - it is not officially supported behavior, which doesn't
work in 100% cases, as some other threads in this list prove...
